| with what he said (mainly that the crises in our lives | | | | purpose, even though I had a husband and two |
| are activating personal and global transformation) and | | | | demanding toddlers. I desperately sought for clues to |
| that this "2012 timeframe" will bring great and positive | | | | my higher purpose from "spiritual" teachers. They tried |

| About three-fourths through the interview, Braden | | | | My search paid off--finally--when I received a |

| 0.10 Hertz (Hz). This is the frequency where stress is | | | | you place your left hand on your heart and your right |
| reduced and it is this same frequency that helps us | | | | hand on your soul space and "get the wave going." |

| "higher self" and the higher self the gateway to | | | | and favorable synchronicites). Of course you need |
| "Interconnectedness.") | | | | more than just meditation; you need to learn to trust |
| Fair enough, I thought. It's true that when you reconnect | | | | your higher self (your intuition) and follow through with |
| to your higher self, you reconnect to divine plan and | | | | your inner guidance promptly and consistently (which is |
| Interconnectedness at the same time and this helps | | | | what integrates your higher self into your life and |
